I am a compassionate and dedicated Associate Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in supporting individuals, couples, and families through challenging life transitions. My diverse background in clinical psychology, theatre arts, and community work allows me to approach therapy from a unique perspective that blends empathy, creativity, and a deep understanding of personal narratives. I work extensively with LGBTQ+ individuals, foster/adoptive families, and those navigating identity exploration, using strength-based, trauma-informed modalities to help clients empower themselves, heal, and thrive.
I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, adoptive families, and those facing trauma or life transitions. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore identity, relationships, and healing using a strength-based, trauma-informed approach that integrates traditional therapy and creative arts. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths and build resilience.
I understand that reaching out can be difficult, but you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. I’m here to listen, support, and help you feel seen and valued. Together, we’ll create a path forward that honors your unique story and strengths. If you’re ready to start this journey, I’d love to help you take that first step.
